Answer:
hope this short and sweet answer helps you
Step-by-step explanation:
A negative exponent helps to show that a base is on the denominator side of the fraction line. In other words, the negative exponent rule tells us that a number with a negative exponent should be put to the denominator, and vice versa. For example, when you see x^-3, it actually stands for 1/x^3.
[tex]Question:[/tex] ✧
How can you simplify expressions containing negative exponents? ✩
[tex]ANSWER:[/tex] ✶
By reversing. ✳︎
[tex]EXAMPLE:[/tex] ❄︎
[tex]\frac{1}{2^{-2}} }[/tex] ✴︎
The fraction is unhappy because of its negative exponent; it's so forlorn that it flops over: ❆ ▵ ❁
[tex]} \frac{2^{2} }{1}[/tex] ✳︎ ✺
[tex]\frac{4}{1}[/tex] ❅ ✸
[tex]4[/tex]
Here's one more example: ☀︎
[tex]23^{-2}[/tex] ☻ ⭐︎
OMG! The number is sobbing quietly. Let's rescue it!
How? ☺
Just by flopping it over ! ☆
Hope this helps! ✭
